Yo bros. I am a male BTS fan and I will give you 5 songs that you should check out : 1. Paradise : rnb , rap and great lyrics. Underrated song for sure. 2. Home: rnb beauty 3. Hip Hop Phile: they rap about their love for hip hop 4. Bapsee/Silver Spoon : my hype song 5. Tear: rap beauty
The problem with finding out about KPOP through BTS first is that it's really hard to like another group because BTS's music is incomparable to other group's music. I think with BTS's music you can really feel their sincerity and love for music. I used to love 1st and 2nd gen KPOP music, but then fell out of love with it because there was no originality and every new group just started sounding the same. BTS is the reason why I got back into it. It was really refreshing to see people make music because they love the art and not for the accolades.
Exactly this and it still is that way with a few exceptions. Idol industry is considered not only in Korea but Worldwide and especially by music critics and professionals extremely superficial and manufactured. BTS faced a lot of hardships because of that bad image. Like literally the KMA Committee and the Grammy Director has pointed that out directly and emphasized that difference that made BTS great. There's also a whole video by music critic Kim Young Dae that highlights this as well and the reason Grammy's do not take any other idols into consideration.
I already had a lot of respect for BTS, but this song made me admire them way much more. More than a band, more than 3 rappers and 4 vocalists BTS are artists, that’s what makes them special. Through the use of symbolisms they always share a message that is way much more profound than what one can think at first, and that message has impacted thousands, millions of fans Many are good singers and good rappers, but artists are those who speak through their art
As a dancer this resonates deeply with me, I've had times where I lost my passion for dance and I've just gone through the motions for so long and I've wanted to quit, but BTS and being Army probably saved me as a person. When this song came out I cried, especially because I know this theater and everything they said i related to on so many emotional levels, it just hit me differently. Thank you guys sooo much for loving them like we do, they have changed more lives than just mine, and it means alot to us fans to have you guys react to them and love them like we do. Thank you so much for all that you do😁😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm a writer who hasn't been able to write for over a year (2020 sucked all the creativity out of me) and this was the song that made me an ARMY. It helps to know that others- even BTS- feel that same fear of, 'What if my fire's gone out, what if all I've got left is ashes, who am I going to be without my greatest enjoyment and challenge?' If they can fight past their burnout and enjoy making music again, maybe I can work past my silence as well. They're a comfort, and maybe, a source of inspiration.
@@ystrw Couldn't have been said better 😁😊 As for the writing, it helps me to just sit down and write dumb stuff.😂 Write things that don't make sense, short dialogue, something that made you mad, anything and it kinda helps jump start your brain into being able to just keep writing, no matter the mistakes or if it even makes sense or not in the story yet, you can change that later. Its so hard, but you really just have to just keep writing,don't stop and don't think about it, just keep going until your out of ideas, then go back and edit, and your own words will give you more inspiration 😁😁😁😊😊😊😊 I know that you can do it😁😁 I give you my purple Army heart!!😂😁😊🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love dance when I was younger my 2 oldest sisters would try new dance choreographies on me. My 2nd oldest even got a doctorate degree in Dance. Up until her death in 2015 she was always teaching dance. My passion ended way back in 1980 when I was diagnosed with epilepsy and I could no longer dance with passion I had. I’m now 55 ( I’ve not had a seizure in 34 yrs) Now my goal is to get my body in shape my back and knees fixed so by the time I’m 60 I can go back and dance to these songs. Yes I’m a multi kpop grandma. #HIGHERFACULTY I’m using your workout playlist. Keep up the passion. Army’s ( the non toxic) the ones from the beginning kudos to you all💜
The Black Swan sings of the fear of not being able to stand on stage again as an artist. Martha Graham- “The dancer dies twice. The first death is when the dancer stops dancing. And this death is much more painful”
Hey Armies I know that the premier is at a bad time, but lets still be respectful because they are reacting to our favesss. Thank you for the reaction, Black Swan is next level!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. BTS's focus is not about Super Slap songs like dance club tracks. They are artists that really try to put deeper meanings in their lyrics. Their journey has been a huge growth in finding their place globally. I love Wavy, NCT, Seventeen, Stray Kids and Day 6. BUT BTS is just crazy special. I do apologize for the toxic fans who shouldn't beat on people and be disrespectful. There are so many of us but we can't control the crazy negative ppl. in the fandom.
thanks for reacting to bts, in my opinion i have listened to many kpop bands and they are all tremendously talented but bts has something different from the rest their lyrics convey something unique i am not saying that it is better than the rest it is simply different the album map of the soul 7 is A work of art I would love for you to react to louder than bombs it does not have mv but it is a beautiful song both in music and in lyrics
Yes, but not just in Kpop but as music artists in general, BTS have a way with making meaningful music. It hits you on a deep level and makes you think about life and existence.
EXACTLY..... well put 👏... I have read countless comments stating that there are much better vocalist groups than BTS & much hard working bands in kpop ... agreed .... but dude I have listened to all most ALL kpop groups... NOTHING ... I MEAN NOTHING comes close to even a percent of passion, artistic abilities , the creativity & whole ass variety of genre BTS produces or produced since their debut ... rest all kpop groups have same theme n sound same be it girl groups or boy groups... what can I say I tried to like other groups but BTS is BTS 🤷 ... no one can come closer to what they have achieved together as 7 ..... #period
I'm here late, sorry no disrespect, but my guys (BTS) were performing on MTV unplugged at the same time. It was great and who was cutting onions? I want to see them in concert, I still have tickets for last year. Black Swan is the best pop song period. (I told you so)
Same here. I got here as soon as MTV Unplugged is finished. And I hold our tickets. I hope that this pandemic is over soon and we all can see BTS on stadium stages!!! Nice meeting you BTSARMY!!!
i've been listening to kpop since 2009 but bts is the first kpop group that I really stan.. their music is diverse, relatable and they are genuine.. right now I only stan bts and txt ..and just a casual listener of others..
This song is a masterpiece. This song cant be compared to any other song so i really beg to disagree to comparing this to other songs. The lyrics and the whole production esp thr artfilm version is just beautiful and mesmerising. This song touched everyone who has something they are passionate about
@@Me-tp6ll LGO is a masterpiece though. Both musically and lyrically. It might be "boring" because it is a slow non-mainstream song, but you can't deny that it has a deep meaning to it and is motivational for all of us.
Hearing you guys being concerned about getting started with your passions makes me want to see you react to BTS’s performance of Tomorrow. It’s from one of their earlier albums but they have a more recent live performance from about 3 years ago that has subtitles. The lyrics for that song hit me hard.
I'm stunned you started the video without the lyrics from the beginning but I appreciate you being willing to go back and look at them. As an ARMY, we're constantly shouting into the void about BTS' lyricism so it means a lot when people do actually look at their lyrics as well. 💜
Small broke company, 16 hrs working each day for years risking their entire future against industry & political powers at home & xenophobia abroad trying to tear them down, not knowing if anything will come of it... Once u know the depth of BTS ongoing story... Most ARMY aren't offended about taste, but inch toward disrespect & they WILL get defensive.
I think they should listen to the orchestral version to see how the song transformed and how the dancers told the story so beautifully. I wouldn't say that black swan is rnb. It's a mixture of many different genres. And I think it hit even harder knowing that it's them personally telling their story
Yes BLACK SWAN is the best kpop song PERIOD!! U guys are just starting to get into BTS. BTS have some of the best K-pop songs under them. Actually not kpop but also pop too. BTS songs are now international not only K-pop. There sound has developed so much and they never hesitate to change their sound and show us something new.
This is from the album Map of the soul, inspired by Karl Jung the philosopher who talks of Persona, Shadow and Ego as a person's journey to find oneself. After dealing with Persona there were songs dealing with shadow (fear) and BTS talks of their fear of losing their art and interest in it. Martha Grahm a dancer is quoted here who said it would be her first death. So you have the first shadow in this mv which does not correspond, is moving about crazily, symbolising active fear, the second shadow stands still, the third shadow settles down, or has been accepted as part of the person. Interlude shadow, from the same album by Suga is another masterpiece and you might like it right up there alongside Black swan. I am amused by your constant use of word KPOP. :)
Black swan was not my favorite at first but it resonates so differently now. I grew fond of it due to its meaning. It’s undeniable it’s a masterpiece. It had even made you stand up. And clapped. At least they have an audience. They made this music video in an empty theater. Isn’t it the ultimate fear for an artist to have no viewer? If as a creator you taste applause. Isn’t it a drag ? Because each unsuccessful performance must an ordeal an artist might be a Phoenix but he still has an expiration date like an athlete. Those were not pandemic times. Empty theater was not the norm I spent ten years being an avid viewer of live performances. People put so much effort into being creative In my opinion when they create blood sweat and tears. It was pivotal. Their productions embodied universal issues and paved their journey as artists.
I agree they deserved atleast two more nominations for best Album and best MV,but the fact that they had to make a full English song to be nominated just shows how discriminatory the industry is.
Let’s be real, the cinematography in South Korea is leagues away from many Western music videos. They use so many angles and truly make each video look like a film. Ice Cream’s music video truly shows the difference between Western and Eastern work. Blackpink’s team made a whole room for the ladies to work with. They just had room to play.
Came here right after BTS on MTV Unplugged... Guess many ARMYs were late to watch this because of that.. Anyway, Black Swan, Fake Love, and Blood Sweat and Tears are masterpieces. You've done the first two.. check the third one as well. Thanks :)
This song is a masterpiece in terms of everything. I abs love that BTS makes music that always has a higher meaning to it. Once you dive in them, there is no coming back
I highly suggest you guys check out "Interlude: Shadow" MV and their b-side "My time". They're from their MAP OF THE SOUL:7 album which black swan is a part of. They hold a similar theme which yall could appreciate!
The first time I listened to this song, I had to pause it half-way through due to how emotional it made me. I want to get back into dancing, but I'm so tired/stressed/busy that I haven't. I let myself die that first death, and I need to make time to revive myself. This song reminds me of that every time. Glad you guys saw this song and connected with it, I purple you guys. :)
reason why it’s the best kpop song is bc bts isn’t kpop. kpop has its own sound and bts is seperated from that aspect as they have their own. black swan is ultimately one of my favorites songs by bts and in general.
Background information: Carl Jung ( famous psychologist, writer of the book Map Of the Soul, which is in fact the name of BTS album series Map of the soul:persona, and Map of the soul:7) has a theory known as Jungian psychology. There he talks about 3 part of human mind PERSONA (the personality trait, attitude we show to the world) SHADOW ( our darkest, suppressed thoughts, feelings, fear. Things we do not show to other people and sometime don't accept it to ourselves. Feelings like jealousy, insecurity, etc) EGO ( our most conscious self, a self who knows our shadow and persona both and try to maintain balance) These 3 elements decided our personality. Map of the soul: This album start with Intro: Persona, in the middle we get Interlude: Shadow and last song is Outro:EGO. Black Swan falls is the next song after Shadow. In Shadow ( Suga solo song) Suga talks about his fear and the downside of fame. So as a immediate follow up Black Swan is BTS being scared that their shadow (fear, pressure of fame, not being able to live a normal adult life ). They are scared that they will drown in their shadow to the point that they would lose passion for music. But in the middle of song BTS switch up the lyrics and said but one day they look deep inside themselves, and they saw themselves working in their music studio and they remember why they started music in the first place, they still love music more than they are scared of fame. So they will continue making music irrespective of their enternal shadow and external pressure. Black Swan movie: a psychological thriller using concept of shadow and persona. What happen when the protagonist who has been suppressing her shadow for years to wear this mask (persona), let her grip lose on the shadow. Chaos break, she decend into madness. And pay the ultimate price. The idea of two part of a human mind is represented through two swan - white ( happy innocent side of us what people usually see, Persona) and black ( the 'not so good' side we suppressed, shadow). The movie is also about an artist being passionate but paying a high price because they could not accept and intigrate their shadow with their daily life ( this idea came from Jungian psychology, where failing to merge all these 3 identity, known as individuation, one have to lose their sanity). Deep stuff... I know. If you get it, you are super smart, if you did not you are absolutely fine too. We, ARMY have been reading psychology and s*** because BTS wants to talk about deeper issues. So the song is an exploration of the psyche of a passionate artist. But a lot of non artist like me can relate to this too on a different level.
i've always loved music. i'm 36. i'm partial to rock (and most of its sub-genres) and my favorite is pearl jam. i've been in a band and also was part of a choir. i sometimes write my own music and play the guitar. just saying where i'm coming from in terms of music. i'm into every genre, as long as it delivers. i've listened to kpop since 2010. i'd say i've always just been song-centric cos i'm deeply into lyricism so it takes a lot for me to full-on support an artist. i do love cnblue (cos they're a band) and mamamoo (cos of their lyricism and involvement with their music). but, after almost a decade of listening to kpop, bts took me to a different level of passion for it. like you, back in feb 2018 when i first started diving deep, i was also doing some hasty generalizations i wasn't proud of - the army is intense (not just with antis but with toxic armys too - you'll def be corrected if you're being tactless or rude). i thought it was petty, the fight that's inside army's heart for bts. but with that said, i'm looking forward to your journey because if you really want to understand where this "fire" is coming from, you'd know why armys are protective. that's not an excuse to be rude but it's mainly for your understanding, and again, not all armys are like that. this fandom is extremely diverse so it's kinda sad when a newcomer openly calls out the entirety of it as "unhealthy." i hate to point this out but "some" (there's really a lot for hate to trend lol) fans from several fandoms were the first to announce and trend on twitter that they don't want bts and army as part of kpop. we're the biggest fandom and we never trended a hate hashtag, in respect to the other artists and people in general. but time and again, both bts and army have been put in situations where many kpop fans join forces to shade and/or directly hate on army and bts. or, when there's voting, even if their faves aren't part of it, they collab with other haters to pull us down. this is why some armys are openly saying they're here for bts and bts only. i know you said you dislike "politics" so if that's the case then i'd appreciate you stop hinting on armys being rude. every fandom has toxic fans. i'm really happy you enjoyed black swan. it's beautiful. 💜
As a musician myself I feel this song sm because the day I can't play instruments, the day music doesn't hit like it did now, a part of me is going to die. I can't imagine a life without music. Or at least a happy one. Definitely one of my favorite bts songs
The genre is BTS. BTS is beyond Kpop (which to me is a term to represent the popular music industry in Korea). They are beyond that industry - they are TRUE ARTISTS! My favorite artists for a reason - you should listen to their full discography and make sure you ALWAYS read the lyrics. These men are so talented and engrossed in their work - from composition, to production, to lyrics, to performance, to concepts. They give 100%+ to their art and it shows - I respect them so much and I will never refer to them as kpop cuz it's honestly a watered-down term and, to me, dilutes how much respect they deserve as artists.
You always mention that we shouldn't be disrespectful to other artists when talking abt army ... I really don't know what comments you read that shocked you that much but I can promise that we're mostly very chill. We are passionate yes, but we only give BTS, and people who genuinely like BTS, our utmost attention. So whatever negative comments you saw, I wish you would try to put it aside cuz it's not one of our characteristics and we don't claim those people lol
I’ve heard them mention ARMY like that too and wonder what they read. BTS has been through a lot of bs and extremely unfair treatment for their whole existence so it’s natural that their fans get defensive and want to protect them, but I assume most of the really bad/ignorant comments are from sad, mean, 12 year olds. So it’s a bummer that those comments stand out so much to people, tho I know it’s easier to remember negativity rather that other things. But I promise most of us are not that! Most of us want BTS to be as proud of us as we are of them, and they are the opposite of mean and hurtful and negative.
I think you guys think it's the best BTS song yet because it's the first one you actually took the time to get the meaning, but all of their songs have a special meaning. They are great lyricist and that's what makes them special for so many people.
They have many albums = many songs. So they still have songs you haven't listened to 😁. They have various genres. What do you want to listen? They have it all
You guys should really react to BTS - HOME live on jimmy fallon!! This performance was SO SO SO good their vocals were on point and the visuals were amazing
I know BTS makes hits and amazing songs all the time, but I really truly think Black Swan might be their best work they’ve done. As a concept it’s hauntingly beautiful, it sounds incredible in both versions, the live performance they did recently was awe-inspiring, and I think it’s a song that will age incredibly well, which can’t be said for many kpop songs. That and the fact it ties into Interlude:Shadow as well as SUGAS Interlude from Halsey’s Manic album in terms of themes puts it to the top for me.
2nd comment and I've posted this before but I think it still holds up. Hopefully you'll see it 🙂👋🏿💜 Since you both are athletes, maybe you would understand the "fanwars" if you imagined the different groups as different sports teams. While some people may enjoy watching basketball in general and have a favorite team followed by a few others they're willing to root for if their faves aren't playing, other people generally solely support their team and that's it. Contrary to popular opinion about music not being competitive, music is very much a competition and fandoms operate the same way in music. As a member of BTS ARMY stan Twitter, I see it obviously with other Korean acts but I also see it in the Western industry (think Selena stans vs Ari stans, Nicki vs Cardi, etc.), afrobeats (Wizkid vs Burna Boy vs Davido vs Rema stans), etc. The same convos about who's the g.o.a.t. (MJ vs King James vs Kobe (RIP), etc.) happens in those spaces as they do in music spaces and that's some of what plays out in your comments section. While I don't think of myself as extreme as some of my fandom, I do wade in from time to time because I dislike misinformation and I do genuinely find it laughable that some of BTS' achievements are often provided as proof of how well the whole kpop industry is doing in certain places when it's clear based on data that BTS is on a very different scale than many other South Korean acts or music acts globally. Being factual about their impact in no way takes away from the other talented people within the same industry but yes, I'm loud about their impact because it's consistently being diminished by other stans and the media (globally). This is on top of the racist remarks that have happened numerous times from other stans and media (to be clear, I'm not saying you two said anything racist. I'm spelling this out to avoid any confusion later on) Anyway all this being said, I'm glad you're enjoying what you react to and are being honest with what you do and don't like. I don't expect you to like everything I like and surprise, I don't always love everything that BTS does but I appreciate your respectful way of speaking about them and the other acts you watch. Even though BTS is my fave, I do check out other artists' new releases because I love music and it's nice to see that you do too. 👋🏿🙂💜
@@Trkive thanks! 🙂 Also as a general follow up, I'm absolutely not endorsing the extreme things that happen within fandoms so my comment is not in defense of threats or anything like that. Absolutely call those people out and I will happily help report them regardless of what fandom they are in. Lastly, please know that trolls are very much a part of every fandom so naturally that part tends to get the most attention. 🙂💜👋🏿
@@dancemachine1919 oh man OF COURSE I hear you- I received your very well thought out comment with the utmost respect- never did I think you were validating biases or putting down others. Thank you for sharing your objective insights. 💜
BTS is known for their extremely deep lyrics and linkages to literature and art work, philosophers and psychologists. I am waiting for you to react to Blood Sweat and Tears Persona Shadow Ego All songs need you to look up the explanation videos available on youtube by DKDKTV, Xcelest or Bookish Theories to understand how deep and complex they are and what BTS stands for... 💜💜💜🇮🇳
Can i suggest reacting to Dionysus by BTS. Dionysus is the God of wine and they associate it with them being madness and drunken as a way to define their addiction of consuming their own art.
this song was the golden song for me, because it really opened my eyes to the fact that even people really do go through this moment. they helped me feel understood when i went through the rut of not feeling passion for my passion, it's scary and just knowing my idols can relate is just really nice
I love seeing Black Swan resonate with someone in the way it was meant to. I'm very much a beat & melody person, but as someone who once wanted to dance more than anything, the lyrics of this song hit me in a way no other has.😭
I would add that losing passion for creativity is the biggest fear of each artist unless it's a fake love (pun intended, as "Fake Love" is another BTS' huge artistic creation). Being for many decades the visual artist myself, I have had experienced the creativity's crisis a few times, and every time it has scared me more than anything else in my life, especially when thought I've lost the passion forever. I appreciate your reaction, thank you for a deeper conversation.
Bts finds you with their lyrics when you need them, you don't find BTS. Wait until you guys see the live performances for this one because it's superior
I listened to The Seventh Sense since I had never heard it before. Sorry, it sounds like most songs that come out of SM. They have had a certain sound for like ever. It's okay but definitely not my pick for best of Kpop. But everyone is entitled to their opinions. I don't consider BTS Kpop at this point btw.
Hey guys! Thank you for reacting to this song! I love it, especially the lyrics, because it's so genuine. It made me respect and admire BTS even more. Also, thank you for sharing your story with us. I really admire you guys. Just want to make a side note, because I noticed in a couple of your videos that you seem to have some "resentment" towards ARMYs (sorry, don't know if this is the right word, but english isn't my first language and sometimes it’s hard to express what I want to say). I’ve been a fan of BTS since 2015 and since then I saw many toxic fans in every single kpop fandom in every social platform. I’ve never understood why, because even though I’m not familiar with many groups, I know that they always try to send a positive message to their fans. Unfortunately, this is a common thing in every group of fans, be it of music, sports or whatever, there is always some bad apples. Sometimes people say that “ARMY is the most toxic fandom”, but it just seems that way because we are a really huge gigantic fandom. So obviously, there will be a higher number of toxic “fans”. Which in no way is an excuse for how these people act. I don’t agree with their behavior as well and usually real ARMYs call them out. What some people fail to understand is that, as in every fandom, they don’t represent the majority. The great majority of ARMYs are kind and appreciate a sincere reaction (usually, we can notice when reactors are just saying what they think we want to hear and aren’t being really honest, so we just stop watching them). If people don’t like BTS, it’s totally ok. We respect them (at least the great majority), as everyone is entitled to their own opinion and BTS might not be their cup of tea. We just don’t appreciate when people express themselves in a really rude and disrespectful way. So, thank you for giving us sincere reactions and always being so respectful to the guys. It’s fine if you don’t like some BTS songs that you hear in the future and everyone should respect you. If someone says the opposite, just ignore these ignorant people. Anyways, sorry for the huge text. I’m patiently waiting for more reactions. Thank you!
I love that the past couple of songs (on the playlist) have all been: "THE best song!". It cracks me up! Also, I can relate. The technology wasn't really on your side, for this one, but I chuckled at the clever use of the mouse to try and combat the disappearing text.
Love Your reactions, thank you for your story. Keep doing what you guys are doing.You guys are doing an Awesome Job.Im a newbie to your channel and enjoy ur reactions.Thanks for the welcome. BTS always have people that relates to them and their music. It's Nice to Know BTS. They helped me to with their song "Make It Right". In a whole different way. That song help you know everything will be okay. And that BTS is there to be by your side. Their so amazing. I 💜BTS!
I think understanding this song is not as simple as just using the Martha Graham quote on artistic block though this readily can provide a relatable experience many of us go through. To me, it is best integrated into the entire Map of the Soul concept which derives from the psychology of Karl Jung. BTS albums often tend to be thematic, not understood simply as a collection of single songs. Black Swan readily combines with Persona, Shadow, On, Louder than Bombs, and Ego to create a thematic ark ultimately speaking to the concept of individuation as proponed by Jung.
I can totally relate to Black Swan and to your stories (including Christine). I’ve always been creative but didn’t go to art school. I took up Accountancy and now working as an accountant, working 10-12hrs a day (sometimes more). Never really developed my art until late 2019 when I was able to buy an ipad and finally tried to improve my digital. Up until now I’m struggling to find time to do artworks, and I can’t even resign in my work because its pandemic. ☹️ Anyway, 7th sense is the best kpop debut song ever. Not the best kpop song, but its there at the top. And I have to agree with Christine, Black Swan is better lyrically. Wish y’all watched the art film tho. Also, to add on your last remarks, i hope ppl stop guilt tripping ARMYs for not listening to other kpop grps. You do you. You listen to what you want. Been a kpop fan since 2009 and I tell you, i dont even know every single kpop group and kpop song out there. Someone don’t have to know every single group to feel relevant or validated.
BTS has fought from day 1. You really need to watch the videos, BTS Hardships, and BTS Heartbreaking Story, to get an understanding of why ARMY is so fierce. Nobody has been treated and had all other companies and fandoms working against them like BTS has. It is hard to believe what has been done to them, and how they never gave up. I think you will be shocked, and better understand their fandom. And, they still have to fight, after accomplishing so much.
I loved what you said about going hard after what you believe in without disrespecting others. Truth is that while i mostly listen to BTS, Kdrama has opened my eyes and ears to so many songs that I've gone on to purchase. Even BTS like some of these same artists and sing their songs so hating on other groups is just pointless. Everyone likes what they like. I think there are so many great artists out there and I appreciate many. I love this song though because it's one I really relate to. I love music for the sake of music and I love music that really tells a story.
black swan is best song of 2020 said by many articles.... it just has soo deep meaning and tells the story of many people.....this song is legend made by legends. there are many kpop idols groups but i think bts is really different from all in aspects how they are not afraid to talk openly about the dark issues of this society which can't be seen in any other groups. usually kpop is more like a marketed singers trained hard at young age and kindly owned by agencies they belong to , they don't even have rights to say anything without counsulting their agency and there is the difference bts has, bighit ceo bang PD has said in his interviews that he was not strict on boys... he gave them the artistry freedom to write their thoughts and speak infront of world, boys also engaed themself truly with every thing, and this is the reason why bts is more than kpop. they speak their mind through their songs, they are not afraid to talk about sensitive topics, they more than just a boyband. i became their fan in 2015 , but slowly the meaning behind their each songs made me respect the even more. its as if they are telling our story through their songs... i am inspired by them and i highly respect them.
This song gave everyone insight on the internal struggle of a worldwide artists journey through losing direction and that first love (music) but rediscovering themselves within it. An absolute masterpiece, the orchestra version is my favorite for sure. My first passion has always been music, when singing wholeheartedly it heals my soul, unfortunately I’m unsure when it began but lately i feel muted. I feel like i lost my voice and I’m timid even when I’m with myself.... it really does feel like a first death when you’re not doing what you love. Btw thanks for putting me on! I really like Jay Park but i hadn’t looked em up lately. Now i got my mom quoting Teléfono XD and The Purge been playing non stop for me. Thanks for this!!💜✨ Wishing y’all health and happiness with a side of success.
it's a good day when one arrives to deep art BTS ... they taughts us all thing are possible if you keep believing in yourself... hope your journey stays bright :)

LOVE THE LIST!😁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💜
she gave the best explanation of black swan i've ever heard and BLACK SWAN, THE MASTERPIECE THAT SHE IS
The problem with finding out about KPOP through BTS first is that it's really hard to like another group because BTS's music is incomparable to other group's music. I think with BTS's music you can really feel their sincerity and love for music. I used to love 1st and 2nd gen KPOP music, but then fell out of love with it because there was no originality and every new group just started sounding the same. BTS is the reason why I got back into it. It was really refreshing to see people make music because they love the art and not for the accolades.
Exactly this and it still is that way with a few exceptions. Idol industry is considered not only in Korea but Worldwide and especially by music critics and professionals extremely superficial and manufactured. BTS faced a lot of hardships because of that bad image. Like literally the KMA Committee and the Grammy Director has pointed that out directly and emphasized that difference that made BTS great. There's also a whole video by music critic Kim Young Dae that highlights this as well and the reason Grammy's do not take any other idols into consideration.
other groups i like are TXT(from BigHit) and Mamamoo
@@SapiaNt0mata except Mamamoo has done too much cultural appropriation without apologizing
@@WE__BTS cultural appropriation? hahahahahaha. get lost. apology? watch Hip MV, and then go to 1:36 to see what you'll get.
Until you find Big Bang 👀
this is not kpop, this is bts.
I already had a lot of respect for BTS, but this song made me admire them way much more. More than a band, more than 3 rappers and 4 vocalists BTS are artists, that’s what makes them special. Through the use of symbolisms they always share a message that is way much more profound than what one can think at first, and that message has impacted thousands, millions of fans
Many are good singers and good rappers, but artists are those who speak through their art
Black Swan is my all time fave. Up there with BTS' Blood, Sweat and Tears, Make it Right (with Lauv), and Baepsae.
DEY CALL ME, BAEPSAEEEEE
I Need U as well👏🏻
I totally agree, I also love the Baepsae choreo, in particular the dance practice version.
Fear of losing one's passion is earth shattering- Shadow by Suga complements this song for me
As a dancer this resonates deeply with me, I've had times where I lost my passion for dance and I've just gone through the motions for so long and I've wanted to quit, but BTS and being Army probably saved me as a person. When this song came out I cried, especially because I know this theater and everything they said i related to on so many emotional levels, it just hit me differently. Thank you guys sooo much for loving them like we do, they have changed more lives than just mine, and it means alot to us fans to have you guys react to them and love them like we do. Thank you so much for all that you do😁😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm a writer who hasn't been able to write for over a year (2020 sucked all the creativity out of me) and this was the song that made me an ARMY. It helps to know that others- even BTS- feel that same fear of, 'What if my fire's gone out, what if all I've got left is ashes, who am I going to be without my greatest enjoyment and challenge?' If they can fight past their burnout and enjoy making music again, maybe I can work past my silence as well. They're a comfort, and maybe, a source of inspiration.
@@ystrw Couldn't have been said better 😁😊 As for the writing, it helps me to just sit down and write dumb stuff.😂 Write things that don't make sense, short dialogue, something that made you mad, anything and it kinda helps jump start your brain into being able to just keep writing, no matter the mistakes or if it even makes sense or not in the story yet, you can change that later. Its so hard, but you really just have to just keep writing,don't stop and don't think about it, just keep going until your out of ideas, then go back and edit, and your own words will give you more inspiration 😁😁😁😊😊😊😊 I know that you can do it😁😁 I give you my purple Army heart!!😂😁😊🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@ystrw And sorry my reply was probably very badly written 😂 i literally just woke up and its 4 in the morning 😂😂
Hey you are amazing💜
I love dance when I was younger my 2 oldest sisters would try new dance choreographies on me. My 2nd oldest even got a doctorate degree in Dance. Up until her death in 2015 she was always teaching dance. My passion ended way back in 1980 when I was diagnosed with epilepsy and I could no longer dance with passion I had. I’m now 55 ( I’ve not had a seizure in 34 yrs) Now my goal is to get my body in shape my back and knees fixed so by the time I’m 60 I can go back and dance to these songs. Yes I’m a multi kpop grandma. #HIGHERFACULTY I’m using your workout playlist. Keep up the passion. Army’s ( the non toxic) the ones from the beginning kudos to you all💜
Black Swan is everything. I had a feeling LC would like this song but I didn't expect him to get stuck. My dude froze for second. Borahae!
The Black Swan sings of the fear of not being able to stand on stage again as an artist.
Martha Graham-
“The dancer dies twice. The first death is when the dancer stops dancing. And this death is much more painful”
Hey Armies I know that the premier is at a bad time, but lets still be respectful because they are reacting to our favesss. Thank you for the reaction, Black Swan is next level!!!!!
@@Anime-tu5iy bts had an mtv special premiering at the same time, where they performed telepathy, blue and grey, and a cover of Coldplay's fix you
@@Anime-tu5iy they was just on mtv unplugged and performed telepathy, blue and grey, fix you, life goes on and dynamite
@@thatweirdodaniel And it was amazing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. BTS's focus is not about Super Slap songs like dance club tracks. They are artists that really try to put deeper meanings in their lyrics. Their journey has been a huge growth in finding their place globally.
I love Wavy, NCT, Seventeen, Stray Kids and Day 6. BUT BTS is just crazy special.
I do apologize for the toxic fans who shouldn't beat on people and be disrespectful. There are so many of us but we can't control the crazy negative ppl. in the fandom.
Well done 👏
thanks for reacting to bts, in my opinion i have listened to many kpop bands and they are all tremendously talented but bts has something different from the rest their lyrics convey something unique i am not saying that it is better than the rest it is simply different the album map of the soul 7 is A work of art I would love for you to react to louder than bombs it does not have mv but it is a beautiful song both in music and in lyrics
I'm curious to see what they think of Louder than Bombs too
Yes, but not just in Kpop but as music artists in general, BTS have a way with making meaningful music. It hits you on a deep level and makes you think about life and existence.
EXACTLY..... well put 👏... I have read countless comments stating that there are much better vocalist groups than BTS & much hard working bands in kpop ... agreed .... but dude I have listened to all most ALL kpop groups... NOTHING ... I MEAN NOTHING comes close to even a percent of passion, artistic abilities , the creativity & whole ass variety of genre BTS produces or produced since their debut ... rest all kpop groups have same theme n sound same be it girl groups or boy groups... what can I say I tried to like other groups but BTS is BTS 🤷 ... no one can come closer to what they have achieved together as 7 ..... #period
I'm here late, sorry no disrespect, but my guys (BTS) were performing on MTV unplugged at the same time. It was great and who was cutting onions? I want to see them in concert, I still have tickets for last year.
Black Swan is the best pop song period. (I told you so)
Same here. I got here as soon as MTV Unplugged is finished. And I hold our tickets. I hope that this pandemic is over soon and we all can see BTS on stadium stages!!!
Nice meeting you BTSARMY!!!
Yes still wiping the tears away from the Blue & Grey into Fix You combo, the onions are strong here lol
It was sooo good
I wish that it was longer when they sad the last 2 songs I was like nooooooo
Lol
@@Iamtwerked I'm waiting for MTV to upload the Fix You cover it was amazing.
@@crystalsnow1138 I saw it's uploaded on MTV Brazil's channel!
i've been listening to kpop since 2009 but bts is the first kpop group that I really stan.. their music is diverse, relatable and they are genuine.. right now I only stan bts and txt ..and just a casual listener of others..
This song is a masterpiece. This song cant be compared to any other song so i really beg to disagree to comparing this to other songs. The lyrics and the whole production esp thr artfilm version is just beautiful and mesmerising. This song touched everyone who has something they are passionate about
Its really sad That Now bts performance is Always about Dynamite and life goes On.. that song is boring for me.. Not really Masterpiece
@@Me-tp6ll LGO is a masterpiece though. Both musically and lyrically. It might be "boring" because it is a slow non-mainstream song, but you can't deny that it has a deep meaning to it and is motivational for all of us.
Hearing you guys being concerned about getting started with your passions makes me want to see you react to BTS’s performance of Tomorrow. It’s from one of their earlier albums but they have a more recent live performance from about 3 years ago that has subtitles. The lyrics for that song hit me hard.
Tomorrow is basically the reason I started to stan bts over 3 years ago
I'm stunned you started the video without the lyrics from the beginning but I appreciate you being willing to go back and look at them. As an ARMY, we're constantly shouting into the void about BTS' lyricism so it means a lot when people do actually look at their lyrics as well. 💜
Small broke company, 16 hrs working each day for years risking their entire future
against industry & political powers at home & xenophobia abroad trying to tear them down,
not knowing if anything will come of it... Once u know the depth of BTS ongoing story...
Most ARMY aren't offended about taste, but inch toward disrespect & they WILL get defensive.
This was the first Kpop music video that I saw and that got me into Kpop.
I think they should listen to the orchestral version to see how the song transformed and how the dancers told the story so beautifully. I wouldn't say that black swan is rnb. It's a mixture of many different genres. And I think it hit even harder knowing that it's them personally telling their story
@@soeunpark6935 exactly so when he said rnb it kinda threw me off. Just cuz 7th sense and this are slow doesn't mean it's similar.
"THE BEST SONG", Omaay I really feel you, please hear Spring day THAT song has a beautiful message.
One of the best song.
Yes BLACK SWAN is the best kpop song PERIOD!! U guys are just starting to get into BTS. BTS have some of the best K-pop songs under them. Actually not kpop but also pop too. BTS songs are now international not only K-pop. There sound has developed so much and they never hesitate to change their sound and show us something new.
This is from the album Map of the soul, inspired by Karl Jung the philosopher who talks of Persona, Shadow and Ego as a person's journey to find oneself.
After dealing with Persona there were songs dealing with shadow (fear) and BTS talks of their fear of losing their art and interest in it. Martha Grahm a dancer is quoted here who said it would be her first death. So you have the first shadow in this mv which does not correspond, is moving about crazily, symbolising active fear, the second shadow stands still, the third shadow settles down, or has been accepted as part of the person.
Interlude shadow, from the same album by Suga is another masterpiece and you might like it right up there alongside Black swan.
I am amused by your constant use of word KPOP. :)
Black swan was not my favorite
at first but it resonates so differently now.
I grew fond of it due to its meaning.
It’s undeniable it’s a masterpiece.
It had even made you stand up.
And clapped.
At least they have an audience.
They made this music video in an empty theater.
Isn’t it the ultimate fear for an artist to have no viewer? If as a creator you taste applause. Isn’t it a drag ? Because each unsuccessful performance must an ordeal
an artist might be a Phoenix but he still has an expiration date like an athlete.
Those were not pandemic times. Empty theater was not the norm
I spent ten years being an avid viewer of live performances.
People put so much effort into being creative
In my opinion when they create blood sweat and tears. It was pivotal.
Their productions embodied universal issues and paved their journey as artists.
This should have been nominated for best MV’s at the Grammys, but they didn’t do it.
I agree they deserved atleast two more nominations for best Album and best MV,but the fact that they had to make a full English song to be nominated just shows how discriminatory the industry is.
@@GFV28 Right Like the had to do the english that was super pop and not there usual style and also wasnt even written by them
Let’s be real, the cinematography in South Korea is leagues away from many Western music videos. They use so many angles and truly make each video look like a film. Ice Cream’s music video truly shows the difference between Western and Eastern work. Blackpink’s team made a whole room for the ladies to work with. They just had room to play.
BigHit did not submit it for Grammys.
It's up to BigHit to submit and they didn't. It's not always because of nefarious reasons that they didn't get norms/awards.
Came here right after BTS on MTV Unplugged... Guess many ARMYs were late to watch this because of that..
Anyway, Black Swan, Fake Love, and Blood Sweat and Tears are masterpieces. You've done the first two.. check the third one as well. Thanks :)
This song is a masterpiece in terms of everything. I abs love that BTS makes music that always has a higher meaning to it. Once you dive in them, there is no coming back
Interlude: Shadow is a MUST
I love Black Swan so much!! The lyrics, the choreo, the instrumental, just everything!! It’s perfection 🥺
I highly suggest you guys check out "Interlude: Shadow" MV and their b-side "My time". They're from their MAP OF THE SOUL:7 album which black swan is a part of. They hold a similar theme which yall could appreciate!
The first time I listened to this song, I had to pause it half-way through due to how emotional it made me. I want to get back into dancing, but I'm so tired/stressed/busy that I haven't. I let myself die that first death, and I need to make time to revive myself. This song reminds me of that every time. Glad you guys saw this song and connected with it, I purple you guys. :)
This is my favorite. The song, the deep meaning, the choreography, the set, the visuals. Everything is perfection.
reason why it’s the best kpop song is bc bts isn’t kpop. kpop has its own sound and bts is seperated from that aspect as they have their own. black swan is ultimately one of my favorites songs by bts and in general.
Background information:
Carl Jung ( famous psychologist, writer of the book Map Of the Soul, which is in fact the name of BTS album series Map of the soul:persona, and Map of the soul:7) has a theory known as Jungian psychology. There he talks about 3 part of human mind PERSONA (the personality trait, attitude we show to the world)
SHADOW ( our darkest, suppressed thoughts, feelings, fear. Things we do not show to other people and sometime don't accept it to ourselves. Feelings like jealousy, insecurity, etc)
EGO ( our most conscious self, a self who knows our shadow and persona both and try to maintain balance)
These 3 elements decided our personality.
Map of the soul:
This album start with Intro: Persona, in the middle we get Interlude: Shadow and last song is Outro:EGO.
Black Swan falls is the next song after Shadow. In Shadow ( Suga solo song) Suga talks about his fear and the downside of fame. So as a immediate follow up Black Swan is BTS being scared that their shadow (fear, pressure of fame, not being able to live a normal adult life ). They are scared that they will drown in their shadow to the point that they would lose passion for music. But in the middle of song BTS switch up the lyrics and said but one day they look deep inside themselves, and they saw themselves working in their music studio and they remember why they started music in the first place, they still love music more than they are scared of fame. So they will continue making music irrespective of their enternal shadow and external pressure.
Black Swan movie: a psychological thriller using concept of shadow and persona. What happen when the protagonist who has been suppressing her shadow for years to wear this mask (persona), let her grip lose on the shadow. Chaos break, she decend into madness. And pay the ultimate price. The idea of two part of a human mind is represented through two swan - white ( happy innocent side of us what people usually see, Persona) and black ( the 'not so good' side we suppressed, shadow). The movie is also about an artist being passionate but paying a high price because they could not accept and intigrate their shadow with their daily life ( this idea came from Jungian psychology, where failing to merge all these 3 identity, known as individuation, one have to lose their sanity).
Deep stuff... I know. If you get it, you are super smart, if you did not you are absolutely fine too. We, ARMY have been reading psychology and s*** because BTS wants to talk about deeper issues.
So the song is an exploration of the psyche of a passionate artist. But a lot of non artist like me can relate to this too on a different level.
i've always loved music. i'm 36. i'm partial to rock (and most of its sub-genres) and my favorite is pearl jam. i've been in a band and also was part of a choir. i sometimes write my own music and play the guitar. just saying where i'm coming from in terms of music. i'm into every genre, as long as it delivers. i've listened to kpop since 2010. i'd say i've always just been song-centric cos i'm deeply into lyricism so it takes a lot for me to full-on support an artist. i do love cnblue (cos they're a band) and mamamoo (cos of their lyricism and involvement with their music). but, after almost a decade of listening to kpop, bts took me to a different level of passion for it. like you, back in feb 2018 when i first started diving deep, i was also doing some hasty generalizations i wasn't proud of - the army is intense (not just with antis but with toxic armys too - you'll def be corrected if you're being tactless or rude). i thought it was petty, the fight that's inside army's heart for bts. but with that said, i'm looking forward to your journey because if you really want to understand where this "fire" is coming from, you'd know why armys are protective. that's not an excuse to be rude but it's mainly for your understanding, and again, not all armys are like that. this fandom is extremely diverse so it's kinda sad when a newcomer openly calls out the entirety of it as "unhealthy." i hate to point this out but "some" (there's really a lot for hate to trend lol) fans from several fandoms were the first to announce and trend on twitter that they don't want bts and army as part of kpop. we're the biggest fandom and we never trended a hate hashtag, in respect to the other artists and people in general. but time and again, both bts and army have been put in situations where many kpop fans join forces to shade and/or directly hate on army and bts. or, when there's voting, even if their faves aren't part of it, they collab with other haters to pull us down. this is why some armys are openly saying they're here for bts and bts only. i know you said you dislike "politics" so if that's the case then i'd appreciate you stop hinting on armys being rude. every fandom has toxic fans.
i'm really happy you enjoyed black swan. it's beautiful. 💜
As a musician myself I feel this song sm because the day I can't play instruments, the day music doesn't hit like it did now, a part of me is going to die. I can't imagine a life without music. Or at least a happy one. Definitely one of my favorite bts songs
MOTS 7 is my all time favorite album, so far.
All I have to say is welcome to bts bro. This is the hype. This is why. Anyway I enjoy your vids keep it up!
No song can top this masterpiece tbh
The genre is BTS. BTS is beyond Kpop (which to me is a term to represent the popular music industry in Korea). They are beyond that industry - they are TRUE ARTISTS! My favorite artists for a reason - you should listen to their full discography and make sure you ALWAYS read the lyrics. These men are so talented and engrossed in their work - from composition, to production, to lyrics, to performance, to concepts. They give 100%+ to their art and it shows - I respect them so much and I will never refer to them as kpop cuz it's honestly a watered-down term and, to me, dilutes how much respect they deserve as artists.
Black Swan is such a master piece!!
best k-pop song I've ever heard. very accurate.
No it’s literally the best song 😂
You always mention that we shouldn't be disrespectful to other artists when talking abt army ... I really don't know what comments you read that shocked you that much but I can promise that we're mostly very chill. We are passionate yes, but we only give BTS, and people who genuinely like BTS, our utmost attention. So whatever negative comments you saw, I wish you would try to put it aside cuz it's not one of our characteristics and we don't claim those people lol
I’ve heard them mention ARMY like that too and wonder what they read. BTS has been through a lot of bs and extremely unfair treatment for their whole existence so it’s natural that their fans get defensive and want to protect them, but I assume most of the really bad/ignorant comments are from sad, mean, 12 year olds. So it’s a bummer that those comments stand out so much to people, tho I know it’s easier to remember negativity rather that other things. But I promise most of us are not that! Most of us want BTS to be as proud of us as we are of them, and they are the opposite of mean and hurtful and negative.
I think you guys think it's the best BTS song yet because it's the first one you actually took the time to get the meaning, but all of their songs have a special meaning. They are great lyricist and that's what makes them special for so many people.
They have many albums = many songs. So they still have songs you haven't listened to 😁. They have various genres. What do you want to listen? They have it all
I think you would love Blood sweat and tears! And you will finally understand the scars on the back of Vs back 🙃
You guys should really react to BTS - HOME live on jimmy fallon!! This performance was SO SO SO good their vocals were on point and the visuals were amazing
Agreeeeeew
That's one of my favorite too
I know BTS makes hits and amazing songs all the time, but I really truly think Black Swan might be their best work they’ve done. As a concept it’s hauntingly beautiful, it sounds incredible in both versions, the live performance they did recently was awe-inspiring, and I think it’s a song that will age incredibly well, which can’t be said for many kpop songs. That and the fact it ties into Interlude:Shadow as well as SUGAS Interlude from Halsey’s Manic album in terms of themes puts it to the top for me.
Exactly. This is art.
These guys are better live,if you would believe it, Magic Shop or let Go are Crazy live!!
Y'all need to check out shadow its by Yoongi one of the rappers in bts
Just a suggestion but I think yall should move the screen with christine to another screen because it blocks so much of the music video.
Here after MTVunplugged and subsequently JJK blue hair madness. Took a while lol
Well well well! I don't comment often, but damn! this reaction and the whole conversation was deep and inspiring. thanks for bringing Meggan in!
Please react to BTS RM Wale Change
uppp
black swan is one of the biggest diamonds in BTS's discography.
This is my favourite BTS track too.
Black Swan is such an amazing song. Thanks for reacting to it.
2nd comment and I've posted this before but I think it still holds up. Hopefully you'll see it 🙂👋🏿💜
Since you both are athletes, maybe you would understand the "fanwars" if you imagined the different groups as different sports teams. While some people may enjoy watching basketball in general and have a favorite team followed by a few others they're willing to root for if their faves aren't playing, other people generally solely support their team and that's it. Contrary to popular opinion about music not being competitive, music is very much a competition and fandoms operate the same way in music. As a member of BTS ARMY stan Twitter, I see it obviously with other Korean acts but I also see it in the Western industry (think Selena stans vs Ari stans, Nicki vs Cardi, etc.), afrobeats (Wizkid vs Burna Boy vs Davido vs Rema stans), etc. The same convos about who's the g.o.a.t. (MJ vs King James vs Kobe (RIP), etc.) happens in those spaces as they do in music spaces and that's some of what plays out in your comments section.
While I don't think of myself as extreme as some of my fandom, I do wade in from time to time because I dislike misinformation and I do genuinely find it laughable that some of BTS' achievements are often provided as proof of how well the whole kpop industry is doing in certain places when it's clear based on data that BTS is on a very different scale than many other South Korean acts or music acts globally. Being factual about their impact in no way takes away from the other talented people within the same industry but yes, I'm loud about their impact because it's consistently being diminished by other stans and the media (globally). This is on top of the racist remarks that have happened numerous times from other stans and media (to be clear, I'm not saying you two said anything racist. I'm spelling this out to avoid any confusion later on)
Anyway all this being said, I'm glad you're enjoying what you react to and are being honest with what you do and don't like. I don't expect you to like everything I like and surprise, I don't always love everything that BTS does but I appreciate your respectful way of speaking about them and the other acts you watch. Even though BTS is my fave, I do check out other artists' new releases because I love music and it's nice to see that you do too. 👋🏿🙂💜
I appreciate your comment and overall comparison message. It's so important.
Amazing
@@Trkive thanks! 🙂
Also as a general follow up, I'm absolutely not endorsing the extreme things that happen within fandoms so my comment is not in defense of threats or anything like that. Absolutely call those people out and I will happily help report them regardless of what fandom they are in. Lastly, please know that trolls are very much a part of every fandom so naturally that part tends to get the most attention. 🙂💜👋🏿
@@dancemachine1919 oh man OF COURSE I hear you- I received your very well thought out comment with the utmost respect- never did I think you were validating biases or putting down others. Thank you for sharing your objective insights. 💜
Thank you for this and your positivity. 💜
BTS is known for their extremely deep lyrics and linkages to literature and art work, philosophers and psychologists.
I am waiting for you to react to
Blood Sweat and Tears
Persona
Shadow
Ego
All songs need you to look up the explanation videos available on youtube by DKDKTV, Xcelest or Bookish Theories to understand how deep and complex they are and what BTS stands for... 💜💜💜🇮🇳
Can i suggest reacting to Dionysus by BTS. Dionysus is the God of wine and they associate it with them being madness and drunken as a way to define their addiction of consuming their own art.
Please react to BTS Ddaeng
With the explained vid obvs at DKDKTV
Yesss please
u NEED to listen to black swan orchestra version, I literally feel like I'm levitating when I listen to it LMAO
I am glad you liked it so much! Its also one of my faves... Thank you for your reaction!!
this song was the golden song for me, because it really opened my eyes to the fact that even people really do go through this moment. they helped me feel understood when i went through the rut of not feeling passion for my passion, it's scary and just knowing my idols can relate is just really nice
I love seeing Black Swan resonate with someone in the way it was meant to. I'm very much a beat & melody person, but as someone who once wanted to dance more than anything, the lyrics of this song hit me in a way no other has.😭
Black Swan is my all time favorite BTS song,love the beat,the choreo,the lyrics..Everything is vibing 🎶💜
Indeed BTS songs havedeeper meaning... I think you must check BTS songs SEA and Tomorrow . Btw both this song don't have MV... Check the lyric video.
Please react to BTS Jungkook My time🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yessss!!!
I would add that losing passion for creativity is the biggest fear of each artist unless it's a fake love (pun intended, as "Fake Love" is another BTS' huge artistic creation). Being for many decades the visual artist myself, I have had experienced the creativity's crisis a few times, and every time it has scared me more than anything else in my life, especially when thought I've lost the passion forever.
I appreciate your reaction, thank you for a deeper conversation.
Bts finds you with their lyrics when you need them, you don't find BTS.
Wait until you guys see the live performances for this one because it's superior
Black swan is a masterpiece
this song is so honest and an artpiece on its own
I listened to The Seventh Sense since I had never heard it before. Sorry, it sounds like most songs that come out of SM. They have had a certain sound for like ever. It's okay but definitely not my pick for best of Kpop. But everyone is entitled to their opinions. I don't consider BTS Kpop at this point btw.
I love how you guys interact with your fans :)))
Hey guys! Thank you for reacting to this song! I love it, especially the lyrics, because it's so genuine. It made me respect and admire BTS even more. Also, thank you for sharing your story with us. I really admire you guys. Just want to make a side note, because I noticed in a couple of your videos that you seem to have some "resentment" towards ARMYs (sorry, don't know if this is the right word, but english isn't my first language and sometimes it’s hard to express what I want to say).
I’ve been a fan of BTS since 2015 and since then I saw many toxic fans in every single kpop fandom in every social platform. I’ve never understood why, because even though I’m not familiar with many groups, I know that they always try to send a positive message to their fans. Unfortunately, this is a common thing in every group of fans, be it of music, sports or whatever, there is always some bad apples. Sometimes people say that “ARMY is the most toxic fandom”, but it just seems that way because we are a really huge gigantic fandom. So obviously, there will be a higher number of toxic “fans”. Which in no way is an excuse for how these people act. I don’t agree with their behavior as well and usually real ARMYs call them out. What some people fail to understand is that, as in every fandom, they don’t represent the majority.
The great majority of ARMYs are kind and appreciate a sincere reaction (usually, we can notice when reactors are just saying what they think we want to hear and aren’t being really honest, so we just stop watching them). If people don’t like BTS, it’s totally ok. We respect them (at least the great majority), as everyone is entitled to their own opinion and BTS might not be their cup of tea. We just don’t appreciate when people express themselves in a really rude and disrespectful way. So, thank you for giving us sincere reactions and always being so respectful to the guys. It’s fine if you don’t like some BTS songs that you hear in the future and everyone should respect you. If someone says the opposite, just ignore these ignorant people. Anyways, sorry for the huge text. I’m patiently waiting for more reactions. Thank you!
I love that the past couple of songs (on the playlist) have all been: "THE best song!". It cracks me up! Also, I can relate.
The technology wasn't really on your side, for this one, but I chuckled at the clever use of the mouse to try and combat the disappearing text.
Love your reaction..
Now check BTS blood sweat and tears mv..
Love Your reactions, thank you for your story. Keep doing what you guys are doing.You guys are doing an Awesome Job.Im a newbie to your channel and enjoy ur reactions.Thanks for the welcome. BTS always have people that relates to them and their music. It's Nice to Know BTS. They helped me to with their song "Make It Right". In a whole different way. That song help you know everything will be okay. And that BTS is there to be by your side. Their so amazing. I 💜BTS!
I think understanding this song is not as simple as just using the Martha Graham quote on artistic block though this readily can provide a relatable experience many of us go through. To me, it is best integrated into the entire Map of the Soul concept which derives from the psychology of Karl Jung. BTS albums often tend to be thematic, not understood simply as a collection of single songs. Black Swan readily combines with Persona, Shadow, On, Louder than Bombs, and Ego to create a thematic ark ultimately speaking to the concept of individuation as proponed by Jung.
Y’all made my heart soar with pride! 💜 your appreciation is valued
I can totally relate to Black Swan and to your stories (including Christine). I’ve always been creative but didn’t go to art school. I took up Accountancy and now working as an accountant, working 10-12hrs a day (sometimes more). Never really developed my art until late 2019 when I was able to buy an ipad and finally tried to improve my digital. Up until now I’m struggling to find time to do artworks, and I can’t even resign in my work because its pandemic. ☹️
Anyway, 7th sense is the best kpop debut song ever. Not the best kpop song, but its there at the top. And I have to agree with Christine, Black Swan is better lyrically. Wish y’all watched the art film tho.
Also, to add on your last remarks, i hope ppl stop guilt tripping ARMYs for not listening to other kpop grps. You do you. You listen to what you want. Been a kpop fan since 2009 and I tell you, i dont even know every single kpop group and kpop song out there. Someone don’t have to know every single group to feel relevant or validated.
This is definitely the best kpop song of all time it's truly a masterpiece 💜
BTS has fought from day 1. You really need to watch the videos, BTS Hardships, and BTS Heartbreaking Story, to get an understanding of why ARMY is so fierce. Nobody has been treated and had all other companies and fandoms working against them like BTS has. It is hard to believe what has been done to them, and how they never gave up. I think you will be shocked, and better understand their fandom. And, they still have to fight, after accomplishing so much.
Please react to BTS House of cards
I loved what you said about going hard after what you believe in without disrespecting others. Truth is that while i mostly listen to BTS, Kdrama has opened my eyes and ears to so many songs that I've gone on to purchase. Even BTS like some of these same artists and sing their songs so hating on other groups is just pointless. Everyone likes what they like. I think there are so many great artists out there and I appreciate many. I love this song though because it's one I really relate to. I love music for the sake of music and I love music that really tells a story.
black swan is best song of 2020 said by many articles.... it just has soo deep meaning and tells the story of many people.....this song is legend made by legends. there are many kpop idols groups but i think bts is really different from all in aspects how they are not afraid to talk openly about the dark issues of this society which can't be seen in any other groups. usually kpop is more like a marketed singers trained hard at young age and kindly owned by agencies they belong to , they don't even have rights to say anything without counsulting their agency and there is the difference bts has, bighit ceo bang PD has said in his interviews that he was not strict on boys... he gave them the artistry freedom to write their thoughts and speak infront of world, boys also engaed themself truly with every thing, and this is the reason why bts is more than kpop. they speak their mind through their songs, they are not afraid to talk about sensitive topics, they more than just a boyband.
i became their fan in 2015 , but slowly the meaning behind their each songs made me respect the even more. its as if they are telling our story through their songs...
i am inspired by them and i highly respect them.
Love you guys! If I had a dollar for everytime folks start going through their catalog and say "this is my favorite" after watching a new one... 😉
And there are more god tier tracks.
Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece
"Best Kpop Song" FACTS. It is truly a masterpiece.
Hey LC, you WILL like the song 'My Time" by BTS. RnB vibes all over that song.
This song gave everyone insight on the internal struggle of a worldwide artists journey through losing direction and that first love (music) but rediscovering themselves within it. An absolute masterpiece, the orchestra version is my favorite for sure. My first passion has always been music, when singing wholeheartedly it heals my soul, unfortunately I’m unsure when it began but lately i feel muted. I feel like i lost my voice and I’m timid even when I’m with myself.... it really does feel like a first death when you’re not doing what you love.
Btw thanks for putting me on! I really like Jay Park but i hadn’t looked em up lately. Now i got my mom quoting Teléfono XD and The Purge been playing non stop for me. Thanks for this!!💜✨ Wishing y’all health and happiness with a side of success.
it's a good day when one arrives to deep art BTS ...
they taughts us all thing are possible if you keep believing in yourself... hope your journey stays bright :)
Black Swan is a whole masterpiece.
honestly this masterpiece is often underrated
Glad to see "black Swan" get what she deserves! The queen of MOTS 7 ..
